The New Testament – the peak of Trubar’s creative work
Trubar’s translation of the New Testament definitely represents the peak of
spiritual and literary creation in the Slovene provinces in the second half of the
16th century, although this work was mostly accomplished outside the Slovene
ethnic territory and with the support of German feudal lords. Despite all the
circumstances, Primož Trubar symbolizes today everything that the Slovenes
experienced when receiving God’s word in their mother tongue, and this was
not the word of the Old Testament and some strict, often incomprehensible God,
but the word of the New Testament, which brings love, salvation and hope to
man. Thus alongside all the divisions of the Slovenes throughout their history,
Trubar’s work could be a uniting element within the nation, surmounting the
religious, economic, political and intellectual barriers in different periods.

Škoda hovoryty: The Counter-Reformation and Recatholicization
in the Bohemian Kingdom: 1621–1628
This article deals with the establishing of the Counter-Reformation and
Recatholicization, movements that followed in succession in the lands of St
Wenceslaus during the period from the defeat of the Bohemian estates’ army at
the Battle of White Mountain on 8 November 1620 to the publication of the
Renewed Constitution (Verneuerte Landesordnung des Erbkönigreichs Böhaimb) on
10 May 1627. During this introductory period of the Thirty Years’ War, the
orthodox Roman Catholic Bohemian and Hungarian king and Holy Roman
Emperor Ferdinand II took on a religious as well as political restoration in the
Bohemian kingdom. The “achievements” of the Counter-Reformation and
Recatholicization among the Bohemians and Moravians appear typologically
similar to the measures which Ferdinand as Prince of the Inner Austrian prov-
inces introduced in Carniola, Carinthia and Styria in the period 1596-1628 at
the instigation of Bishop Georg III. Stobaeus von Palmburg, i.e. applying also
to the Protestant “church of the Slovene language”. These were: 1) the simulta-
neous introduction of Counter-Reformation measures in all social classes; 2)
the immediate prohibition of reformed church services and preaching, and the
obligatory dissolution of institutions belonging to the reformed churches (e.g.
schools, printing presses), which follow a military or political victory over po-
